Recently, late at night while drinking tea, I suddenly thought of an interesting comparison. In tea art, there is a classic technique called "Phoenix Nods Three Times," which is not just a brewing skill but also a form of etiquette. The host lifts the teapot gently with wrist strength, raising and lowering three times, causing the tea leaves to swirl in the water, resembling a phoenix nodding in greeting. Each movement must be rhythmically precise, with the sound of water, the waterline, and the flow maintaining a consistent rhythm.

The true essence of "Phoenix Nods Three Times" emphasizes gentleness. The wrist should be soft, with the elbow and wrist kept parallel, allowing each lift to be light and controlled. It’s not about forcefully shaking up and down but about creating an artistic mood. The three impacts of water on the tea infusion stimulate the tea’s character and also serve as a sign of respect to the guest. These three nods are like three bows, conveying the host’s goodwill. The most skilled tea master will keep the cup filled to about 70%, leaving 30% space—this is the principle of pouring tea to seven-tenths full, leaving room for human kindness.

Suddenly, I thought about how market trends also seem to have this kind of rhythm. Looking at BTC’s current price at 71.54K, I start to ponder its 360-day moving average logic. If we compare it to the "Phoenix Nods Three Times" concept, the first nod might be around 91,500, the second around 75,300, and the third approaching the limit price near 64,000. These three levels are like three swirls in a teacup, each with its own significance.

In tea art, the focus is on unity of mind and spirit; you can’t approach it with a performative attitude if you want to brew good tea. The market is the same—one must not only look at surface fluctuations but also understand the underlying rhythm. As the year comes to an end, could emerging financial products also be following this pattern of retreating to the moving average? Drinking tea and watching the charts, I truly gain some insights.
